Smallbore Rifle Shooting

SmallboreTarget Rifle Shooting is not as hardcore as fullbore. It is only shot over small distances (20-50m), and the ammunition is simple lead of size .22 of an inch. (As opposed to copper) Wind does not come into the game at all over these distances. (20-50m is little compared to fullbore distances: 300,600,800, and even 1,000 meters are usually shot -- Special match rifles are required for longer distances such as 1,400m. At these distances the need may arrise for specialised ammunition.)

Some however, believe that smallbore is harder than fullbore. This is because there are 10 divisions on a smallbore target (compared to only 5 at fullbore). In order to obrain a 'posible' (MPS -- Maximum Possible Score) you will have to get your 10 shots within a ring of approximate size 1cm, from a distance of 50m.
